Meta Pixels are not yet supported on embedded Givebutter Form campaigns.
Tracked events 📝
Once you've saved your Meta Pixel, the following events will be tracked for every Givebutter campaign. Sample data that is sent with each event is also displayed below.
The content_id parameter is denoted as an array, even though it only has one value (the campaign id). This follows Facebook's best practices.
PageView
Triggered when a user visits a campaign page.
ViewContent
Triggered when a user visits a campaign page. This is an alias for PageView, with some extra data.
{
content_type: 'product',
content_name: 'Donate to Dance Marathon' //Givebutter campaign title
content_ids: ['12345'] //Givebutter campaign ID
}
ClickPurchase
Triggered when a visitor clicks the button to donate or purchase a ticket. Note: this event will not fire on Form campaigns, as there is no button on the page.
{
content_type: 'product',
content_name: 'Donate to Dance Marathon' //Givebutter campaign title
content_ids: ['12345'] //Givebutter campaign ID
}
InitiatePurchase
Triggered when a visitor begins making a donation or purchasing a ticket. In practice, this is triggered after a visitor advances past the first step of the checkout flow (select a donation amount or a ticket type). Note: InitiatePurchase will only be called once per session.
{
content_type: 'product',
content_name: 'Donate to Dance Marathon' //Givebutter campaign title
content_ids: ['12345'] //Givebutter campaign ID
}
InitiateCheckout
Triggered when a visitor reaches the checkout page of the transaction flow. This is equivalent to a "Checkout" button on other sites. Note: InitiateCheckout can be triggered multiple times in the same session.
{
value: 100.00,
currency: 'USD',
content_type: 'product',
content_name: 'Donate to Dance Marathon' //Givebutter campaign title
content_ids: ['12345'] //Givebutter campaign ID
}
Purchase
Triggered when a visitor completes their purchase.
{
value: 100.00,
currency: 'USD',
content_type: 'product',
content_name: 'Donate to Dance Marathon' //Givebutter campaign title
content_ids: ['12345'] //Givebutter campaign ID
}
